What makes BasicISP.net better than other ISPs?

It’s simple, we try harder! BasicISP.net has thousands of reliable access numbers, feature rich email and allows access to all major Instant Messaging programs (IM) like Yahoo, AOL® and MSN. However BasicISP.net has set itself apart from the crowd of other ISPs in three very important areas:

  1. BasicISP.net is a privately held American company. We have chosen not to outsource any of our services. This means if you call us for any reason, you will talk with our friendly staff who are easy to understand and can quickly provide assistance about your account or service. When you sign up with BasicISP.net, you are helping to support an American business and the American workers that are employed by it!
  2. BasicISP.net takes identity theft and your privacy very seriously. While other providers like AOL®, MSN, NetZero and Netscape believe they can securely track and sell their customers information and online habits, BasicISP.net has chosen against this type of activity. It just doesn’t make sense to us. Unlike other ISPs, we will not put your private information at risk or monitor your online activity just to make an extra buck!
  3. BasicISP.net believes you shouldn’t have to pay a premium for great customer service or technical support. While most discount providers charge in the range of $1.50-$3.00 per minute, you may call our U.S. based technical support staff FREE for the first 30 days on new accounts. After the initial 30 days, there is a flat $4.95 charge per incident for phone based technical support. Our staff will do what it takes to resolve any issues without fear of exorbitant fees.
